J.O.B

Saturday August 29th, 2009

To say that I am frustrated would be the understatement of the century. I surpassed that point right about the time the umpteenth door was slammed in my face. So much for that perfect picture I had painted on the canvas that is my highly imaginative mind. The plan was to graduate and start the rest of my beautiful life. I would have so many job offers to pick and choose from. After all I didn't spend the last four years just filing my nails in college you know,
I actually gained an education. Well woop de do! Clearly employers didn't get that memo.

Everyone tells me I chose the right profession. "They'll be breaking down doors to get a piece of you", "You'll get a job faster than a speeding bullet", "You'll always have a job"
......a few of the statements that have been thrown my way.
Well I must have wax in my ears, or maybe I'm losing my mind. Surely they didn't say I would get a job super quick?

Every potential employer who has turned me down has fed me the same story: I don't have the necessary experience to be hired without undergoing an internship first. That's fair enough, but here's the downer...there are not enough internship positions at the moment.
Pray tell how I am meant to get experience if nobody wants to hire me?

A few weeks ago, I was up to my brow in deadlines. I longed for some vacation time.Well I got what I wished for and then some. Fast forward to the present and here I am, a new graduate tired of idling around. A few weeks of major bumming can get old pretty quick. You can only watch so much TV and take so many cat naps before you begin to feel like an old useless hag. I need something to do. I need a job! Preferably sometime this century?
Hopefully this week will be fruitful. You know what I'll let my optimistic alter ego take the wheel. Things WILL be better this week.
Yes I will. Yes I can.
I believe.
